Dan Crenshaw drops Ben Rhodes on his head over the Iran attack on two tankers

Former Obama staffer and Iran deal cheerleader Ben Rhodes doesn’t believe Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that it was Iran who attacked two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman earlier this week and he wants an international investigation “to establish what happened”:

This definitely feels like the kind of incident where you'd want an international investigation to establish what happened. Huge risk of escalation. https://t.co/a2X18hNmmD

I’ve been watching for years as Iran moves weapons to proxies around the region, looking for opportunities to destabilize & wreak havoc, and then claim innocence. This is not new. And the Administration is right to strengthen our regional presence as a deterrence.

As if on cue, CNN’s Barbara Starr reports that Iran attempted, but failed, to shoot down a drone that was tracking two Iranian boats that were headed toward the tankers before the attack:

Just In; A US drone tracked Iranian boats closing in on the 2tankers prior to attack Thurs. Iran spotted the MQ-9 & launched a SAM missile but missed. Missile fell into sea Days earlier a Reaper shot down in Red Sea by Iranian backed Houthis. None of this been announced.
